Window to the future? I see this exact face and scenario repeating in about 13 1/2 years. And I volunteer Jared as resident driving instructor. XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany every week of the year.
New Year! New projects! New baby!
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! As always, it flew by this year, but we spent tons of great time with family and friends, and now we’re ready to take on 2014 with reckless abandon. Well, maybe not reckless abandon, but we’re going to live it up — you know,…
Happy Christmas to all!
We’re full swing into holiday fun around here, but I thought I’d drop by to share an enthusiastic “Happy Christmas” along with our family’s Christmas card for this year. It might be my favorite to date. Needless to say, Beany and Ella were both pretty excited about the cookie situation (sugar will do that to…
Splish, splash! Summer is here!
It’s officially summer. It’s officially hot. Beany is officially a pool baby. Happy Friday! XO, Katrina
Sometimes we play stickers
Beany has always been a detail-oriented, hands-on kind of girl, and over the past few months, her constant need for “doing” has manifested itself in an obsession with stickers. Fortunately, both grandmas are happy to oblige the little sticker bean, whose tiny hands are oft at work. Simple play is the best kind of play,…
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid
I know I don’t generally do this, but after going through my latest batch of Beany photos, there’s something about this one that I just had to share. She changes so quickly, and I’m thankful for cameras that allow me to capture her as she is right now. Tomorrow she’ll be someone new. And I’ll…
Doll skirt DIY and a note to younger me
Yesterday, with deadlines looming and work to be done, I spent the morning sewing a new skirt for Beany’s beloved Bunny, the doll whose been the favorite naptime, bedtime, all-time companion for more than a year but whose received affection — and countless trips through the washing machine — was beginning to take its toll…
For Beany’s cookie jar: DIY felt cookie tutorial
In my very favorite episode of Little House on the Prairie, a snow-covered Mr. Edwards bursts through the door of the Ingalls family home on their first Christmas in Kansas. There’s a blizzard blowing outside, and Mr. Edwards looks more like a frosty Santa Claus than his usual grizzly man self. Although I could replay…
Minding our Ps and Qs: Ricotta Lemon Bars
Nothing makes you reevaluate your words, actions and unintentional mannerisms quite like spending your days with a 2-foot-tall mimic. Toddlers come with an innate talent for reflecting the good, not-so-good and do-I-really-do-that kinds of qualities in the people around them, and our Beany girl has taken to this age-required aptitude with zeal. Our regular conversations…
Springtime in January: Beany reads outside
Today is appropriately chilly for Jan. 31. Cold and getting colder, says the weatherman. Last night, we listened as buckets of rain poured down overhead and howling winds blew our poor skinny trees back and forth until they bent like licorice. Piglet would have said, “Tut, tut.” But then, it was already raining. Weather is…
